| ltOrmly quiet In out few instances yesterday
| were sales up to the average bu mess of
| tuesday. The slackness is que parIly 10 the
| unWllllngnesS OF Sc lers to make concessions,
| but mostly to a luIt in the demand for goods
| III quantities. Buy ers have been cautious
| during the past few weeks, desiring ap-
| parenLly TO see existing engagements nearer
| completion or distributing markets more
| active before purchasing freely. Meanwhile
| the steady DAILY current business, often In
! suldll amounts, preserves the market from
| dullness, Producers are remark ably confident
| in view of the quieJness. Export warns are
| mostly inactive. There is some Increase in
sales for Japan an China. There is little
| alteration in Eastern. Printing cloth is quiet
